Hartford Business Journal 40 Under Forty 2012

40 Under Forty Digital Edition 2012

With so many deserving candidates, it was a tall order, but from more than 100 nominations, our three judges selected the very best and brightest to represent the 40 Under Forty Class of 2012.

The Hartford Business Journal has been selecting 40 Under Forty honorees for 17 years and we're extremely proud of the leadership these men and women display on a daily basis.

As you read these profiles, you'll easily see that this year's class shares a passion for what they do, including a downright determination to expend the time and energy required to be the best. They possess a passion for life and share a commitment to giving back to their communities.

Our winners touch upon just about every area, including theater, industry, healthcare, law, finance, education, politics, hospitality, telecom and entertainment.

We need to take a moment to thank our partners who help us in making the publication and the 40 Under Forty event happen. We owe a special thanks to Gina Broadbent and Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington for hosting the photo shoot. What a setting!

Please join me in congratulating these 40 outstanding men and women. They are sure to inspire the next generation and help keep our community leaders on their toes. This year's 40 Under Forty celebration takes place Monday, Sept. 24 at the Connecticut Convention Center.
